Michael Bennet is from my state, Colorado. He was appointed to replace Sen. Ken Salazer when Salazer became Secretary of the Interior.

Bennet isn't a career politician, and he may well lose in a primary next time around to the ex-Speaker of the (Colorado) House, Andrew Romanoff. But whoever wins that primary will be the next Senator. The GOP can't avoid tripping on their own two feet in this state, lately. (Remember, we're also the home of the late and unlamented Marilyn Musgrave and Tom Tancredo!)

About Freedom's Lighthouse

Freedom's Lighthouse is dedicated to being a blog of record for the political history of the United States of America. The United States is "Freedom's Lighthouse" in a world where the light of freedom is not found in many places. We will record that history - past and present - with a great emphasis on video, and will also mix in some of the nation's top sports and cultural news. In all we do we will seek to uphold the conservative principles that have made America "Freedom's Lighthouse."
